Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Page #6

---

Heresies Dastan, pagan madness.

I've seen its power with my own eyes, Tus.

Nizam discovered its resting place, and if

we don't stop him our world could end.

If you're gonna kill me, the best

you do it now.

This is no ordinary dagger.

You press the jewel on its hilt,

and you'll see.

I should have the strength

to do this before we invaded the city.

- What are you talking about?

- To act of what I know is right.

No matter the consequences.

- The soldiers remain out...

- Stay where you are!

He took his own life.

Then, God have mercy on the traitor,

for he chose the path of the coward.

We both know Dastan was many things,

but not... a coward.

This is no ordinary dagger. Press

the jewel on its hilt, and you'll see.

No matter the consequences.

Stop!

A moment ago you died

before my eyes.

- Oh, you pressed it.

- How did you know I would?

Cause we are brothers.

The day we left for war,

our father told me a true king

considers the advice of the counsel.

But always listens to his heart.

You shouldn't defy to go so far

for me to believe you.

Your Majesty,

the soldiers tell me that...

I see that Dastan

has indeed return.

Tus, remember what I told you!

No, a moment.

Poor Tus, so eager for the crown.

And you, Dastan,

always charging in,

so desperate to prove

you are more than

something that king

scraped of the street.

What a glorious mess we are.

It seems that bond between brothers,

is no longer the sword

that defends our empire.

Yes!

He was one of us.

He was the priest of the temple.

That's how Nizam discovered

the existence of the Sand Glass.

He corrupted the guardians,

infected us.

We are no longer pure.

We must hurry.

Pulley.

Get pulley, now!

The guardians built passageways underneath

the city, a secret access to the Sand Glass.

If we move fast enough,

we can get there before Nizam.

That would be the stand

to the Sand Glass chamber.

There is only one safe path.

Faster!

Follow in my footsteps.

Nothing can touch the surface,

other than where I step.

Run, Dastan!

Run!

Dastan!

Nizam!

You murdered your own family.

Sharaman was your brother!

And my curse.

I looked up to you.

Dastan!

I never understood, why

my brother brought trash into the palace.

Enjoy the gutter, Dastan.

It's where you stay under my reign.

Tamina!

Nizam, don't use the Dagger

to undo your past!

- It will unleash...

- Unleash, what?!

Gods' wrath?!

Hell itself?!

Don't do this!

Stop him! If the glass

shatters, the world dies with it.

It's not my destiny, it's yours.

It always has been.

- Let me go.

- I won't.

- Let me go.

- I'm not letting you go!

I wish we could have been together.

- Dastan!

- No! Tamina!

- Dastan!

- Tamina!

Prince, Dastan!

- Bis, you're here?

- Of course I'm here.

Our men surrounded Alamut's palace,

battle is over.

Not yet.

Wait!

Wait!

Brave soldiers of Persia, we have been

deceived into attacking this holy city!

- Alamut, has no weapon forges!

- Dastan!

- Have you gone mad?

- I cannot stand silent in the face of treachery.

This war was set up by one

trusted above all us.

- Our uncle Nizam.

- Dastan has fought hard today,

perhaps too hard. What he needs now

is to get out from under this

burning sun, to rest.

Gather his wits.

The weapons we've found

are forgeries!

There are no weapons here uncle,

and you know it!

And the spy, who supposedly

intercepted them, was hired by you,

to persuade all of us,

to invade Alamut!

What is this, Dastan?

Victor's remorse?

You yourself led the attack,

brought us this great triumph.

I should never have

let the attack happen.

I knew in my heart that it was wrong.

It will never be you.

You'll never been king,

you don't have the heart.

You will die

in a shadow of a great man.

Get him down from there, before

he makes even bigger fool of himself!

Tus, before we left Nasaf,

father told you this:

"That the true king, considers

the advice of the counsel,

but he always

listens to his own heart."

Father and I were alone.

How could you know that?

He's right, he knows us and

he knows we are capable of.

- Just listen to your heart.

- He defies your order,

leads attack and now wants

to turn back, Tus...

Take action here.

The spy knows the truth,

find the spy!

Bring him to me,

we'll wring it from him.

You had what every man

could ever dream,

love, respect and family.

But that wasn't enough for you, was it?

Princess of Alamut.

I was misled to attack your city.

Forgive me, Your Highness.

Let me try to make amends?

It would be to our mutual advantage,

that our nations be united

by a bond stronger than friendship.

Marriage.

Your marriage to one who is both

conqueror and savior of your city.

Dastan.

Royal blood or not,

he's every bit a son to our father.

Every bit a brother to Garsiv and me.

The true prince of Persia.

Get up there,

before I take your place.

Hello, princess.

It's a customary to accompany

a proposal with gifts but, uh...

I was surprised and unless I'm unprepared.

I've nothing for you, save...

that which is already yours.

Walk with me, prince Dastan.

How can I trust the man who

breached the walls of my city?

But I'm starting to think that I'm no longer

the same man who breached those walls.

That's a short time for

the man to change so much.

Perhaps.

It sounds as

if you've discovered something here.

- What might that be?

- The new spiritual awareness.

- A destiny.

- Yes, exactly.

I believe we make

our own destiny, princess.

You have an unfortunate lack of curiosity.

- With no doubt, one of my many flaws.

- Please don't mock me, prince.

I hardly think we know each other

well enough for that, princess.

But I look forward,

to the day that we do.
